RECOMMENDED CLEANING AND DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED CLOTHING

LAUNDRY: The appropriate personal protective equipment should be utilized when handling possibly contaminated laundry. Students are encouraged to wash uniforms at the station in order to minimize the potential of spreading infection to their families. Use the following method if the uniform is contaminated with body fluids. While the washing machine is filling with hot water (120- 130 degrees) add 2 cup (4 oz) of color safe bleach and 1 cup of detergent. The washing machine should be set at its highest water level and after it is full add the garments to be washed. Run items through the rinse cycle twice. Dry items in the dryer on the highest heat setting, do not line dry. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING AREAS: Used equipment from an emergency incident should be bagged and transported to the designated cleaning area. Red bags designated for contaminated equipment are stored on all emergency medical response vehicles and may be identified by the biohazard symbol. When used, these biohazard bags must be disposed of in an approved biohazard container. Contaminated medical equipment should never be cleaned, disinfected, or stored in the stations living quarters or outside hospital biohazard cleaning room. MSDS sheets for each disinfectant will be posted at a prominent place in the designated cleaning area.

SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE OR INJURY IN A CLINICAL/LAB SETTING:

An exposure can be defined as a percutaneous injury (e.g., needlestick or cut with a sharp object) or contact of mucous membrane or nonintact skin (e.g., exposed skin that is chapped, abraded, or with dermatitis) with blood, saliva, tissue, or other body fluids that are potentially infectious. Exposure incidents might place health care personnel at risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and therefore should be evaluated immediately following treatment of the exposure site by a qualified health care professional. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) The following is a recommended approach for student reporting and instructor action should a significant exposure or injury occur during a clinical /lab setting. ** Unless student has a major medical policy, this college policy only covers injuries and exposure issues** 1. Student shall notify Clinical/Lab instructor. 2. Clinical instructor to notify Hospital Infection Control Nurse (exposures

only) 3. Student proceeds to facility’s Emergency Department, signs in as a

patient for treatment. If off site, the student should go to nearest hospital emergency department.

4. Clinical/Lab instructor to notify the Clinical Coordinator / Program

Manager via Voice Mail. 868-3418. 5. Clinical/Lab instructor to call Palm Beach State College Security

for an incident report to be completed. 561-868-3600, day or night. 6. Clinical Coordinator/Program Manager notifies Safety and Security 868-

3487. 7. (Optional) Clinical instructor to call or page Dr. Landman for student

counseling and follow up care for exposures only. 561-969-7900, day or night.

8. Student shall send a detailed e-mail to Clinical Coordinator / Program

Manager regarding incident specifics. 9. Clinical instructor to provide a copy of the insurance form to emergency

registration upon student registration, and file claim with insurance company.

DECLINATION OF POST-EXPOSURE EVALUATION

On___________________, I experienced an incident while participating in a Palm Beach State College EMS Program, which may have caused my exposure to bloodborne pathogens. An Accident-Incident Report was filed at that time.
